For Schizophrenia "I have been on this injection since 2017. Received the monthly injections for about three months before my doctor noticed my remarkable stability in mood and made the switch to the tri-monthly injection. When switched to the tri-monthly injection, I noticed that in the third month of being on it, my symptoms of paranoia and delusions would flare up. I've learned to live with it. However, my sex drive is completely gone and my menstrual cycle is too light. As well, there are nights that my insomnia flares up. I have not gained any weight, but I haven't lost any either. To counter all the bad side effects, I have to say that this is the longest that I have been out of the hospital. Besides the odd paranoia/delusions in the third month, I don't hear any voices like I used to or experience a full-blown manic episode (diagnosis is schizoaffective with bipolar tendencies)."

For Schizophrenia "This drug is the worst thing that has happened to me. At first, I was overmedicated, this drug caused my tongue to tic the upper part of my mouth. I would have all sorts of hallucinations and delusions, which have gradually gone away as the medicine has been reduced to the recommended dose. Not only to mention, I was only experiencing delusions prior to medication. They have gone away now, but it seems as though my thoughts echo, mimic, and align with sounds I hear. Also, it feels as though there are bugs under my skin due to micro muscle spasm. The worst part about this drug is that it causes you to zone into things, like stare at things or become immobile in your line of vision. Which this only happens occasionally, it really is difficult to drive or hold down a job. I have heightened energy levels with adding Abilify. As this Invega Trinza causes couch lock, not no energy, no motivation, and no drive. At least on this medication, I don’t experience sexual dysfunction."
